The Northeastern men’s basketball team had its eight-game win streak snapped with a 74-67 loss to Towson on Saturday in Towson, Md.

The Huskies (12-6, 5-1 CAA) suffered their first conference loss despite going on a 13-0 run in the second half. Senior guard T.J. Williams finished with a team-high 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting.

A win would have given NU its longest win streak since the 1985-86 season. It would also have given the Huskies a 6-0 start in CAA play, something it has not achieved since the 2012-13 season.

For Towson, it was the program’s third win over Northeastern in its last 11 tries. The Huskies lead the all-time series, 20-14.

Junior forward William Adala Moto led all scorers with 24 points for the Tigers (10-9, 2-3). He finished 12 of 13 from the free throw line and pulled down seven rebounds.

After a Williams jump shot six minutes into the first half, the Tigers went on a 10-0 run before another Williams basket made it a 25-9 game in favor of Towson. However, the Huskies fought back to cut the deficit to 10 before the half.

The Tigers added to their lead in the second half before NU went on its 13-0 run over a four-minute span, but Towson was able to regain momentum and secure the victory.
